I tried the first one and the information below the synopsis is on
separate lines.

Hi Deborah, Sue, et al,
I did a search earlier today for Artificial Intelligence Intro and got the following three results. All of them have the metadata not on separate lines but in one long line.
However, I’m using Window Eyes 8.4 and IE11. That may well make the difference.
If anyone would be willing to look at the data for the books at one or more of the following links, and if the info is each on its separate line, that would clinch it that it’s my screen reader that’s somehow not reading it correctly. It used to though, not all that long ago.

Like Sue, I also use JAWS and I’m not seeing what Evan is seeing.
Everything is on it’s own line and is actually quite nice.
This is using either I.E. or Firefox.

Hi Evan,
That's got to be something in the webpage coding that's different for a screen reader than visual, that's taking a hit when it comes to accessibility. Visually, each of those things are on their own line. I wonder what's different?

That�s not the only thing that�s changed on the metadata page.
All of the metadata below the synopses, ISBN, if any, Date of
Addition and so on, is all smooshed together now instead of each
item being on its own line. So if you are using a screen reader,
and you, for example, just want to see when a book was added to
the collection, you have to start from the beginning of that
section, book quality, and read the ISBN, the publisher, and other
stuff before you can hear when the book was added rather than just
being able to arrow down past that stuff to get to what you want
to know.

Hmm. Stranger and stranger. I'm not sure it's the long synopsis
that's missing. A book seems to default to showing the long
synopsis only if both a long or short are available. The books I
was originally looking at each had a brief long synopsis.
But a book's metadata page now only shows one synopsis. The pages
are quite different too in that the information that used to be on
the right side (other books, book quality, related links) are now
on the left side of the page.

Some time in the last week the Bookshare site had some kind of
update. I can't find a long synopsis for any book when I go to
a book's page. Is there a setting I've missed that let's you
see the long synopsis?
